First Round Helps Points At Table

Soccer Betting Lines

Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - AC Milan's midfield duo of Gennaro Gattuso and Alberto Aquilani has been ruled out of Sunday's derby with Inter Milan. Gattuso has been diagnosed with an eye disease called ocular myasthenia, which he picked up while on the club's recent trip to Dubai, while Aquilani is set to miss the next month because of an ankle injury.

Milan enters the derby eight points clear of Inter, which resides in fifth place.

And another three points on Saturday for Real would pile even more pressure on the Catalan side ahead of Sunday's match with Real Betis before the two heavyweights meet up in midweek in the Copa del Rey.

"We shouldn't obsess about the tie," Casillas told the club's official website when asked about Wednesday's fixture with Barca.

Barca owns a 3-1 win over Real Madrid in December, but Mourinho's side bounced back from that defeat to win its next two league matches by a combined score of 11-3.

Barca hosts mid-table Real Betis on Sunday with the visitors bringing a three- game winning streak into the match, while third-place Valencia tries to stay close to the top two when Los Che hosts Real Sociedad.

Levante has hit a rough patch after starting the season in top form with the club winning just once in its last four games and the club travels to Athletic Bilbao, which will aim to stay in the top half of league.

Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Beat picked U.S. national team and UCLA forward Sydney Leroux No. 1 overall in the 2012 Women's Professional Soccer draft Friday. The 21-year-old Leroux scored 30 goals in 36 games for U.S. Under-20 national team from 2008-10. She made her debut for the U.S. senior side last year, when she was also a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist as the best college player.

"She is really, really fast; she is skilled; she makes very mature runs for her age, and she puts the ball in the back of the net. She was clearly always going to be our No. 1 pick."

Leroux, a Canadian-American, made her international debut for Canada when she was just 14, appearing at the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Cup and captaining the country's U-15 squad.

Sky Blue FC picked Notre Dame forward Melissa Henderson second, and the Boston Breakers followed with San Diego forward Stephanie Ochs with the third pick.
